Sorry to see the lad go permanently like, he definitely has ability if he could pull his finger out and work hard. Would have loved to see him loaned to a Champ club for a season to be whipped into shape.

 

Seems a strange decision to sell him cheaply at this stage. Surely his value can only increase.

Normally i'd be happy saying bye bye Nile. But i keep thinking of the sub appearance against Liverpool, i think there's a decent player in there somewhere.

 

i agree, unfortunately i think the decent player is buried under a mountain of shit that shouldnt be shovelled on our time, he'd be easily replaced by someone with a better attitude.

People keep mentioning Phil Airey, who to be fair is just as quick as Ranger was, but perhaps not as strong. Certainly has a better attitude, and in the games I've seen him at U18 and Reserves, doesn't like to lose.

Airey is way too light can see him getting knocked off the ball easily, he's similar to Ferguson in build.

 

He looks wirery to me, I reckon bulk will come in time, he'll never be a power house but he'll have enough to compete.

:nope: This attitude doesn't help english football.

 

Don't get me wrong i still think he'll make it as a footballer, what he lacks in strength (at the moment) he makes up with pace and stamina.

 

Phil's always been an athlete could of easily made a career out of running if he hadn't been signed up.

Seems there will be a new headline.. nailed on

 

LOAN RANGER

 

Yup it seems as though it may just be a season long loan deal and not a £1m sale.

 

A loan would be far better than a sale imo.

 

Although they are trying to get him away from his party lifestyle and off field antics so they send him to Blackpool...do they expect him to be visiting the funfair everyday and blackpool tower of a night time?  :lol:

I guess its go there and behave, get him away from the tools he hangs with here and he has one last chance to prove he is serious about his career.

Any source for that?

 

Very sensible if true, would much rather loan him out than sell.

 

I think I'm resigned to just getting shot now and putting in a decent sell on clause.

 

As long as he's on our books we're going to have to deal with whatever shit he get's into, and it's rare for a striker to end up a great if he's quite as dumb as a box of rocks as this lad.

Barry Ferguson is being lined-up as the high-profile replacement for the departed Charlie Adam at Bloomfield Road.

 

The former Scotland and Rangers captain is in talks with Ian Holloway as Pool step up their summer signing spree.

 

Veteran striker Kevin Phillips, Ferguson’s former Birmingham team-mate, became the Seasiders’ third summer signing over the weekend, while Pool are in talks with Newcastle hitman Nile Ranger.

 

The 20-year-old is available on loan from St James’ Park, while free agent Phillips has agreed a 12-month deal with the option of a second year.

 

However, Pool still need someone to boss the centre of the park following the loss of the hugely-talented Adam and his sidekick David Vaughan. Ferguson is top of the wanted list and negotiations with Birmingham are at an advanced stage.

 

The 33-year-old is available for the right price after the Blues, like Blackpool, were relegated from the top flight in May.

 

Ferguson moved to St Andrew’s from Rangers in 2009. He burst on to the scene at Ibrox in the late 1990s, making his debut aged 19 after coming through the youth ranks.

 

Hamilton-born Ferguson had a first taste of English football in 2003, when he moved to Blackburn for £7.5m.

 

20-year-old Ranger has long been viewed as the next big thing at Newcastle, and despite his tender age has made almost 50 first team appearances.

 

Ranger, who signed a new five-and-a-half year contract at St James’ Park before Christmas, would add much-needed firepower to the Seasiders’ attack, with DJ Campbell set to depart.

 

Pool have also been strongly linked with the Charlton defender Miguel Angel Llera and Leicester frontman Martyn Waghorn.
